In my quest to infuse color into my living room, I spent a few days over winter break making covers for throw pillows in pretty vibrant prints. I’d only made a pillow cover one other time using this really helpful tutorial from J.Caroline Creative, which has a really handy calculator to make sure your dimensions are correct!
I used this tutorial from Isabella & Max Rooms to make my first ‘piped’ pillow! I definitely should have spent time making my own bias tape as opposed to simply cutting a strip of fabric and sewing it around the cording, which would’ve helped me perfect the corners. However, I think it turned out swell!
Zippers scared me…until I found this simple tutorial from Design Sponge detailing how to add a zipper instead of a back flap pocket (probably not a technical term) which, after following, I became a pillow-cover making machine!

Hi! Love your gallery wall. Could you tell me where you purchased your "Every Little Thing" art. Thanks!
Crafty Teacher Lady says
Hi Jen! It's actually something I designed and printed myself so I'm afraid you can't purchase it anywhere! 🙁

I was trying to find the floral fabric that you used, but couldn't locate it on warm biscuit. Do you happen to remember the name of it?
Crafty Teacher Lady says
Hi Rachel-
I don't remember the exact name but is has 'hibiscus' in it! Hope this helps!
